A Series of Changes

Thatch's tears flowed uncontrollably, his face was somewhat dazed, the death of his closest companion brought him to the brink of collapse.

Jozu died right in front of him, not far away.

Doflamingo immediately withdrew from the battlefield.

He's a pirate; he should only help out as Shichibukai, not wholeheartedly help the Navy fight the Whitebeard Pirates.

He did not want the navy to have too great a war advantage.

To be honest, it was completely unexpected; he never imagined that Jozu would die like this.

The same goes for Crocodile; he's already crippled Oars and tested Whitebeard —that's enough for him.

Apart from Dracule Mihawk, who is currently sparring with Vista, the other Shichibukai are just taking advantage of the situation.

After relocating, Doflamingo became a target for many pirates, but he didn't move an inch, instead controlling the members of the Whitebeard Pirates to start killing each other.

He was incredibly excited at that moment, spreading his arms wide, feeling as if he were at the center of an era.

This approach also drew the attention of the live stream to him; compared to other battles, Doflamingo's "art of killing" seemed to be more entertaining.

At that moment, Doflamingo's words were also transmitted to everyone's ears through the video.

"Are pirates evil? Does the Navy represent justice?"

"This idea has been rewritten countless times!"

"The values of brats who don't know what peace is are different from those of brats who don't know what war is."

"Only those who stand at the top can define good and evil!"

"This place is now neutral."

"Baboon! Baboon!" Doflamingo looked up at the sky. "Justice will prevail? Of course!"

The fighting continued around them, but Doflamingo stood there calmly.

"Because only the victor is righteous."

Doflamingo's words were incredibly insightful: only the victor is righteous.

It was truly enlightening for countless people.

Yes, where is the clear line between justice and evil? History is always written by the victors.

On the other side, Marco held off Borsalino.

Marine Admiral Akainu then joined forces with Aokiji to deal with Whitebeard.

The two worked together seamlessly, Whitebeard was finding it difficult to defend himself, his injuries continuing to worsen.

Meanwhile, the other members of the Whitebeard Pirates were unable to provide support to Whitebeard.

In this situation, the Whitebeard Pirates were completely suppressed by the Navy.

It seemed the navy had victory in hand.

At that moment, a deafening dragon roar caused the entire battlefield to pause slightly.

Following the direction of the sound, I looked up at the sky.

Suddenly, the entire sky was covered with dark clouds, and lightning flashed through the clouds.

A huge dragon head emerged from the clouds, its gaze fixed on the battlefield below.

Soon, the Azure Dragon's entire body was revealed, its thousand-meter-long form hovering high in the sky, radiating boundless dragon might.

His distinctive ability immediately made everyone recognize who he was.

The king who reigns over the sea, the "Strongest Creature," the captain of the Beasts Pirates, Kaido of the Beasts.

I never expected him to get involved in this war.

This suddenly made the war situation, which was originally expected to be won by the navy, unpredictable.

The Whitebeard Pirates were somewhat surprised, but the Navy had already learned of this information, which was provided to them by the Night Pirates.

Suddenly, their expressions changed.

"Bolo Breath!"

Kaido's voice echoed through the heavens and earth, and terrifying energy gathered in Kaido mouth. The next moment, a towering pillar of flame, carrying a destructive aura, descended from the sky.

Kaido's Bolo Breath possesses devastating destructive power, with an attack range of several kilometers. It can easily vaporize a mountaintop and even penetrate an entire island.

Kaido's entrance was a blunder that showed no distinction between friend and foe; both the Marines and members of the Whitebeard Pirates were among his targets.

"Oh no! Get out of the way!"

The war ceased at that moment, and all the navy and pirates within the affected area fled in all directions.

The navy couldn't just sit idly by; it had a large number of marines in it.

Marine Admiral Aokiji appeared in the center of the battlefield, placing his hands on the ice. The next moment, a massive ice pillar rose from the ground.

The continuous rise corresponds perfectly to the Bolo Breath released by Kaido.

Boom!

A terrifying collision of energies, constantly impacting each other.

However, it was clear that Kaido, who had the initiative, had the advantage, as beams of light continued to fall, shattering Kuzan's ice pillars.

Visible to the naked eye, the icicles, hundreds of meters high, were rapidly descending.

Even from afar, you could feel the terrifying heatwave approaching.

Fortunately, Kuzan successfully blocked the attack. Kaido's Bolo Breath is a concentrated burst of energy that is released all at once, while Kuzan can use it continuously through his ability.

Kaido descended from the sky, his massive body transforming into human form.

He was wearing an animal skin coat and carrying a spiked club on his shoulder.

"Kaido, what are you doing here?" Kuzan demanded.

"Oh ho ho ho ho! Do I need a reason? I just wanted to stretch my muscles." Kaido laughed as he looked at Kuzan.

"This is really troublesome." Kuzan frowned. He really didn't want to fight Kaido. Although his ice could freeze even flames and magma, that was under natural conditions.

Kaido's flames are naturally extraordinary; fighting Kaido will greatly reduce the effectiveness of the battle.

The main reason for the battle with Ares was that Ares' power was too terrifying; he was completely suppressed when he went head-to-head with him.

"Garp, you should make your move." Sengoku on the Execution Platform, looked at Garp. "We can't let the current situation be disrupted."

Kaido disrupted the momentum that was initially in their favor. Kaido's strength is terrifying, and someone must step in to stop him and prevent Kaido from interfering with the war.

Among the Navy personnel, only Garp possesses such capabilities, even capable of suppressing Kaido.

"Leave it to me." Garp stood up, dusted himself off, and knew that this victory was crucial for the Navy.

Bursting forth with astonishing speed, his figure flashed across the battlefield as he charged straight at Kaido, unleashing a powerful punch.

Kaido sensed Garp's presence, reacted, and wielded his spiked club with both hands, instantly imbuing it with Conqueror's Haki's Haki, before striking to the side.

"Cannon and Thunder Eight Trigrams!"

It was a powerful strike from the very first move.

Boom!

The ground sank, and the powerful impact sent debris flying.

Black and red Inazuma intertwined and collided, crushing the rocks to dust.

After the collision, Kaido took a step back, and Garp came to Kuzan's side.

"Kuzan, leave this guy to me." Garp said seriously, looking at Kaido.

"Okay, Mr. Garp." Kuzan a sigh of relief.

Kaido looked at Garp, his eyes flashing with burning excitement, and his whole body bursting with intense fighting spirit.

"Garp, let's have a big fight!"

After the great battle a few months ago, Kaido did a thorough review and even watched the fight between Ares and Garp.

He witnessed Garp's true power; in the past, Garp had never used his full strength in their battles.

This made Kaido eager to have a big battle with Garp.

After all, aside from the unpredictable Teach and the aging Whitebeard, Garp has always been the pinnacle.

Right now, Kaido is difficult to harm with just Ryou (Advanced Armament Haki) without sufficient strength.

Therefore, Garp, who possesses the technique of internal destruction with Haki, cannot underestimate any of his punches, as they can inflict sufficient damage on him.

"This is Marine Headquarters, how can we allow you to be so presumptuous?" Garp said in a deep voice, twisting his neck, loosening his tie, and tearing off his suit jacket, which he then threw aside.

He has also reached his peak condition and is ready to unleash his full potential at any moment.

Just then, a voice rang out.

"In that case, is it alright to include me in this war?"

Just then, an unexpected visitor appeared, and their gaze followed the direction of the sound.

At the top of the frozen giant wave, a tall figure appeared, dressed in prison clothes, smiling as he looked down at the entire battlefield.

The moment they saw him, most people's eyes shrank back in shock, Kaido was very surprised.

In the New World, Buggy, who was enjoying fine wine and food, stared wide-eyed as his glass of wine was crushed in his hand.

"How... how did this man appear? Wasn't he imprisoned in Impel Down?!" Buggy screamed in shock.

The same sentiment was felt all over the world, across the entire battlefield. No one expected that this man, who had disappeared into the sea for many years, would actually reappear.

"The devil, the Heir of the Devil, Douglas Bullet!"

"This man actually showed up!"

Someone couldn't help but shout excitedly.

Bullet is powerful, but it also possesses its own unique charm.

That battle many years ago was watched by countless people. He fought against the Navy and many top-level forces of the World Government alone, but eventually he was defeated due to exhaustion and was captured by the Navy.

In many people's eyes, Bullet had the potential to become the World's Strongest, and if he hadn't been arrested, he would already be the World's Strongest.

It's worth noting that Bullet fought Whitebeard for a full eight days and eight nights.

He was facing Whitebeard at his peak. In all the recorded battles to date, Bullet is the only one who has pushed Whitebeard to this point, and Whitebeard was almost unable to fight at that time.

As for Bullet, compared to Golden Lion Shiki, he is the first pirate in recent years to declare war on the World Government and the Navy.

To deal with Bullet alone, the World Government and the Navy dispatched four powerful fighters: Garp, Sengoku, Sakazuki, and Kuzan.

There are also five CP0 members, one of whom is a monster no weaker than Admiral, Devil Fruit User.

In addition, there were eight Marine Vice Admiral, plus ten thousand elite marines.

It took the combined efforts of many top-tier experts to defeat Bullet.

After all, the power of Devil Fruit Awakening, combined with the colossal beast that fused with the entire island, absolute power, plus the massive amount of Armament Haki covering the entire beast, makes it practically invincible.

Bullet was the first person in the world to demonstrate the awakened power of Paramecia Devil Fruit Awakening.

It was from that time that the Devil Fruit Awakening began to spread throughout the world.

And then that man actually appeared, which was even more shocking than Kaido's appearance.

Judging from his appearance, he must have escaped from Impel Down.

Many people realized this, and the Sengoku period was somewhat tense.

"Bullet, how did you get out of Impel Down? What happened to Impel Down?"

"Who knows? You shouldn't be asking me that." Bullet didn't answer, seemingly nostalgic; it had been a long time since he'd felt the atmosphere of a battlefield.

Behind Bullet, eleven figures appeared, dressed in clearly prison guard uniforms, with Lawrence leading the way.

When they saw Lawrence and his group, many marines could hardly believe it. Most of these eleven were Marine Elite Training Camp, and many marines recognized them, even though they had been in Impel Down for several years.

But seeing Lawrence and his group's demeanor, it seemed they weren't hostile towards Bullet, leading them to suspect that Lawrence and his group had betrayed them and released Bullet.

It may be hard to believe, but it's very likely the truth.

This is the second Chief Warden to betray their post.

However, Lawrence was probably not misled by Bullet; he entered Impel Down before Bullet was arrested.

Moreover, the other prison guards were originally elite members of the Navy, holding different positions in Impel Down, and some of them had no contact with Bullet.

Judging from their demeanor, Lawrence was clearly in charge.

It is very likely that they are spies sent to the navy by other forces.

Many of these naval forces were known to Sengoku from the Impel Down one after another for various reasons.

The sheer number of spies within the Marine Elite Training Camp is truly astonishing—eleven in total, that's a large number.

Eight of them were originally colonels, and three of them, including Lawrence, were Marine General.

Looking back now, their initial explanation was completely false, even somewhat laughable, and it's a shame they felt so sorry for them.

"Fleet Admiral Sengoku, you should ask Commissioner Magellan about this. We don't know what happened in Impel Down after we left," Lawrence said with a respectful smile, looking at Sengoku.

Angry, still angry. Nothing could make him angrier than the discovery of a traitor among those he trusted and valued, especially one who had released such a troublesome criminal.

This caused the Sengoku a great deal of trouble.

Taking a deep breath, Sengoku regained his composure and quietly gazed at Lawrence.

"You're from the Night Pirates, aren't you, Lawrence?" Without any evidence, just a gut feeling, Sengoku sensed that Lawrence had been sent by the Night Pirates.

Lawrence's surprised expression proved this point.

The series of changes was beyond imagination.

First, the Sea Emperor "Kaido of the Beasts" appeared.

Then, Lawrence, the Chief Warden of Impel Down, betrayed them again, releasing the vicious criminal "Heir of the Devil."

Lawrence's true identity turns out to be a member of the Night Pirates. The Chief Warden's position is equivalent to Marine Vice Admiral. It's unexpected that someone from the Night Pirates has climbed to such a position.

Not only those on the battlefield, but also the people of the world watching were moved to a rollercoaster of emotions.
